In medieval times, gold was often seen as beneficial for the health, in the belief that
something that rare and beautiful could not be anything but healthy. Even some modern
esotericists and forms of alternative medicine assign metallic gold a healing power. Some
gold salts do have anti-inflammatory properties and are used as pharmaceuticals in the
treatment of arthritis and other similar conditions. However, only salts and radioisotopes
of gold are of pharmacological value, as elemental (metallic) gold is inert to all chemicals
it encounters inside the body. In modern times, injectable gold has been proven to help to
reduce the pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis.

Aurum Advisors :Colloidal gold preparations (suspensions of gold nanoparticles) in

water are intensely red-colored, and can be made with tightly controlled particle sizes up
to a few tens of nanometers across by reduction of gold chloride with citrate or ascorbate
ions. Colloidal gold is used in research applications in medicine, biology and materials
science.

Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum, "shining dawn",
hence adjective, aureate) and an atomic number of 79. It has been a highly sought-after
precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since the beginning of recorded
history. The metal occurs as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits.
Gold is dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable and ductile pure metal known. Pure
gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it
maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Gold is one of the coinage metals and has
served as a symbol of wealth and a store of value throughout history. Gold standards have
provided a basis for monetary policies. It also has been linked to a variety of symbolisms
and ideologies.

Gold has been widely used throughout the world as a vehicle for monetary exchange,
either by issuance and recognition of gold coins or other bare metal quantities, or through
gold-convertible paper instruments by establishing gold standards in which the total value
of issued money is represented in a store of gold reserves.

Aurum Advisors Info : Gold readily creates alloys with many other metals. These alloys
can be produced to modify the hardness and other metallurgical properties, to control
melting point or to create exotic colors (see below). Gold is a good conductor of heat and
electricity and reflects infrared radiation strongly. Chemically, it is unaffected by air,
moisture and most corrosive reagents, and is therefore well suited for use in coins and
jewelry and as a protective coating on other, more reactive, metals. However, it is not
chemically inert.

Gold alloys are used in restorative dentistry, especially in tooth restorations, such as
crowns and permanent bridges. The gold alloys' slight malleability facilitates the creation
of a superior molar mating surface with other teeth and produces results that are generally
more satisfactory than those produced by the creation of porcelain crowns. The use of
gold crowns in more prominent teeth such as incisors is favored in some cultures and
discouraged in others.

Aurum Advisors Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all metals; a single gram can
be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold leaf can
be beaten thin enough to become translucent. The transmitted light appears greenish blue,
because gold strongly reflects yellow and red. Such semi-transparent sheets also strongly
reflect infrared light, making them useful as infrared (radiant heat) shields in visors of
heat-resistant suits, and in sun-visors for spacesuits.

Aurum Advisors Common colored gold alloys such as rose gold can be created by the
addition of various amounts of copper and silver, as indicated in the triangular diagram to
the left. Alloys containing palladium or nickel are also important in commercial jewelry
as these produce white gold alloys. Less commonly, addition of manganese, aluminium,
iron, indium and other elements can produce more unusual colors of gold for various
applications.
